WHAT’S IN?

Lesson 5: Line Dance

Physical activities, like dancing and other body kinesthetic

routines, are conditions that allow human’s body to effectively cope
with the demands of daily activities and to still have the energy to
enjoy other leisure activities. That’s why engaging in different physical
activities, such as dancing, is very effective to improve our body.
According to WHO, having inactive and lazy lifestyle is considered a
high-risk factor in the development of many non-communicable
diseases.

Physical daily routines that involve any body movements of

dancing caused by muscular contractions that result to the
expenditure of energy. To participate with this physical activity, you
should consider the principle of progression that starts with warm-up
before going to vigorous routines.

 WHAT’S NEW
Line Dance is a genre of dance wherein participants will perform
the steps in lines or rows. Participants execute the dance steps in
unison at the same time and face the same direction. There is rare
interaction among people because all of them perform the same steps
at the same time.

WHAT IS IT
The line dance is commonly performed to the tune of country
music. However, it surprisingly did not originate from any country or
western place. The steps and the manner of dancing were believed to
have coined from folk activities in ancient times.
Another form believes to have contributed to this modern
method is the Contra. Contra dancing is a folk dance in North America
wherein the people joining in form two lines facing away from each
other. Together, they perform a series of dance steps. It was only
during 1980s that the art of line dancing has become popularly at
tuned to country songs.
Most movements are performed using the legs and feet, while the
advanced versions will include arms and hands. Count is the term
used for the movements done in this form of dancing. A single count
or a single step is equivalent to one music beat; hence for every
movement or step a music beat is also taking place.

BASIC STEPS OF A LINE DANCE

7
 A line dance is a choreographed dance with a repeated sequence
of steps in which a group of people dance in one or more lines or
rows, all facing either each other or in the same direction, and
executing the steps at the same time. Unlike circle dancing, line
dancers are not in physical contact with each other.

 Line dancing is practiced and learned in country-western dance

bars, social clubs, dance clubs and ballrooms. It is sometimes
combined on dance programs with other forms of country
western dance, such as two-step, western promenade dances,
and as well as western-style variants of the waltz, polka and
swing.

 Line dances have accompanied many popular music styles since

the early 1970s including pop, swing, rock and roll, disco, Latin
(salsa suelta), rhythm and blues and jazz.

 Line dancing is a form of dance that takes place with a group of

people. Participants line up in rows and execute the same
movements in a synchronized manner.

 Everyone dances alone, side by side, facing the same direction in

lines or rows. Each dance consists of a sequence of steps that
are repeated throughout the music. Although a variety of music
may be used, the major emphasis is on country-and-western
music.

 Line dancing involves people standing in lines and performing

dance movements together. It consists of patterned foot
movements that are usually performed to a number of counts
per sequence, and then the sequence is repeated. The dances are
done one-wall, two-wall, or four-wall.

 Now line dancing is considered an art form of its own, with its
own terminology and standardized steps.

 Region IX: Zamboanga Peninsula Hymn – Our Eden Land
Here the trees and flowers bloom Gallant men And Ladies fair
Here the breezes gently Blow, Linger with love and care
Here the birds sing Merrily, Golden beams of sunrise and sunset
The liberty forever Stays, Are visions you’ll never forget
Oh! That’s Region IX
Here the Badjaos roam the seas Hardworking people Abound,
Here the Samals live in peace Every valleys and Dale
Here the Tausogs thrive so free Zamboangueños, Tagalogs, Bicolanos,
With the Yakans in unity
My Final Farewell
Farewell, dear Fatherland, clime of the sun caress'd
Pearl of the Orient seas, our Eden lost!,
Gladly now I go to give thee this faded life's best,
And were it brighter, fresher, or more blest
Still would I give it thee, nor count the cost.
On the field of battle, 'mid the frenzy of fight,
Others have given their lives, without doubt or heed;
The place matters not-cypress or laurel or lily white,
Scaffold or open plain, combat or martyrdom's plight,
T is ever the same, to serve our home and country's need.
I die just when I see the dawn break,
Through the gloom of night, to herald the day;
And if color is lacking my blood thou shalt take,
Pour'd out at need for thy dear sake
To dye with its crimson the waking ray.
My dreams, when life first opened to me,
My dreams, when the hopes of youth beat high,
Were to see thy lov'd face, O gem of the Orient sea
From gloom and grief, from care and sorrow free;
No blush on thy brow, no tear in thine eye.
Dream of my life, my living and burning desire,
All hail ! cries the soul that is now to take flight;
All hail ! And sweet it is for thee to expire ;
To die for thy sake, that thou mayst aspire;
And sleep in thy bosom eternity's long night.
If over my grave some day thou seest grow,
In the grassy sod, a humble flower,
Draw it to thy lips and kiss my soul so,
While I may feel on my brow in the cold tomb below
The touch of thy tenderness, thy breath's warm power.
Let the moon beam over me soft and serene,
Let the dawn shed over me its radiant flashes,
Let the wind with sad lament over me keen ;
And if on my cross a bird should be seen,
Let it trill there its hymn of peace to my ashes.
I Am a Filipino, by Carlos P. Romulo
I am a Filipino–inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain
future. As such I must prove equal to a two-fold task–the task of
meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing
my obligation to the future.
I sprung from a hardy race, child many generations removed of
ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries the memory comes
rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in
ships that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see
them come, borne upon the billowing wave and the whistling wind,
carried upon the mighty swell of hope–hope in the free abundance
of new land that was to be their home and their children’s forever.
I am a Filipino. In my blood runs the immortal seed of heroes–seed
that flowered down the centuries in deeds of courage and defiance.
In my veins yet pulses the same hot blood that sent Lapulapu to
battle against the first invader of this land, that nerved Lakandula
in the combat against the alien foe, that drove Diego Silang and
Dagohoy into rebellion against the foreign oppressor.
The seed I bear within me is an immortal seed. It is the mark of my
manhood, the symbol of dignity as a human being. Like the seeds
that were once buried in the tomb of Tutankhamen many thousand
years ago, it shall grow and flower and bear fruit again. It is the
insignia of my race, and my generation is but a stage in the
unending search of my people for freedom and happiness.
Cebuanos, Ilocanos, Subanons, Boholanos, Ilongos,
All of them are proud and true

Let the sun draw the vapors up to the sky,
And heavenward in purity bear my tardy protest
Let some kind soul o 'er my untimely fate sigh,
And in the still evening a prayer be lifted on high
From thee, 0 my country, that in God I may rest.
Pray for all those that hapless have died,
For all who have suffered the unmeasur'd pain;
For our mothers that bitterly their woes have cried,
For widows and orphans, for captives by torture tried
And then for thyself that redemption thou mayst gain

I am a Filipino, child of the marriage of the East and the West. The
East, with its languor and mysticism, its passivity and endurance,
was my mother, and my sire was the West that came thundering
across the seas with the Cross and Sword and the Machine. I am of
the East, an eager participant in its spirit, and in its struggles for
liberation from the imperialist yoke. But I also know that the East
must awake from its centuried sleep, shake off the lethargy that has
bound his limbs, and start moving where destiny awaits.
I am a Filipino, and this is my inheritance. What pledge shall I give
that I may prove worthy of my inheritance? I shall give the pledge
that has come ringing down the corridors of the centuries, and it
shall be compounded of the joyous cries of my Malayan forebears
when first they saw the contours of this land loom before their eyes,
of the battle cries that have resounded in every field of combat from
Mactan to Tirad Pass, of the voices of my people when they sing:
―I am a Filipino born to freedom, and I shall not rest until freedom
shall have been added unto my inheritance—for myself and my
children and my children’s children—forever.‖
